Airport Transportation in Cali

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Alfonso Bonilla Aragón International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Our airport transportation in Cali takes you from Alfonso Bonilla Aragón International Airport in Palmira to the city's hotels in Granada, El Peñón and the south of Cali, the salsa clubs of Juanchito, Palmira itself, and on to the coffee region or the Pacific port of Buenaventura.

Cali Airport Transfers

Your Cali airport transfer starts in the arrivals hall of the single terminal, where your driver meets you after baggage claim and customs. We follow your flight, so the pickup moves with your real arrival time, day or night, and the price is fixed per vehicle before you fly.

Choose a sedan for a couple, an SUV for a family or a van for a group, and go door to door to your hotel in Granada or El Peñón, your apartment in the south of Cali or your family's home in Palmira. Cali airport transfers can also be booked for the trip back to the airport on the same reservation.

Cali Airport Shuttle

Our Cali airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you are through arrivals and goes straight to your address, with no other passengers to wait for. There is room for luggage and gear, which suits families, salsa and festival groups, and teams heading on to the coffee region.

Landing at Cali Airport

Alfonso Bonilla Aragón International Airport (CLO) is the airport for Cali and the Valle del Cauca. It sits in the neighbouring municipality of Palmira, north-east of Cali, and is run under a concession by Aerocali.

All flights use one terminal with separate domestic and international areas, open 24 hours, with restaurants, currency exchange and car rental counters inside. International passengers clear immigration, collect their bags and pass through customs into the arrivals hall; domestic arrivals exit straight from baggage claim.

Cali is on Colombia Time (UTC−5) all year, with no daylight saving.

Entry requirements and local notes

Check-MIG form. Foreign visitors complete Migración Colombia's Check-MIG form online before the flight. Depending on your passport, you may also need a visa, so check the requirements before you travel.

The airport is in Palmira, not Cali. CLO is Cali's airport but sits in the next municipality, so give your full Cali address when you book and plan your ride before you land, especially on a late-night arrival.

Use your booked driver or the official stand. Decline drivers who approach you inside the terminal; your pre-booked driver waits in the arrivals hall, so check the company name before you get in.

Cali Airport Transportation FAQs

Where will my driver meet me at Cali Airport?

All flights arrive at the single terminal. Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall after baggage claim and customs, at the meeting point named in your confirmation.

Is Cali Airport in Cali?

No. Alfonso Bonilla Aragón International Airport (CLO) is in the neighbouring municipality of Palmira, north-east of Cali. The drive into the city usually takes 30 to 40 minutes, longer to the south of Cali or at rush hour.

Can you take me to my hotel in Granada or El Peñón?

Yes. Give the hotel name and street address when you book, and your private car takes you from the airport to the door of your hotel in Granada, El Peñón or anywhere else in Cali.

Do you go to the south of Cali?

Yes. We drive to hotels, apartments and homes in the south of the city. It is the farthest part of Cali from the airport, so allow extra time on your return pickup.

Can you take me to the salsa clubs in Juanchito?

Yes. Juanchito, Cali's salsa district, is a common drop-off from the airport, and you can book the ride back to the airport from there too.

Can you take me to Palmira?

Yes. The airport is in Palmira, so hotels, family homes and businesses in the town are some of the closest drop-offs from CLO.

Can I book a transfer from Cali Airport to the coffee region or Buenaventura?

Enter your exact address when you book. Where a provider covers it, you see the vehicle and its fixed price before you pay, and you skip the change at Cali's bus terminal.

Do you serve apartments, family homes and offices in Cali?

Yes. Give the full address, the building or house name and a contact number, so the driver goes straight to the right door.

Is Cali Airport open 24 hours?

Yes. The airport is open 24 hours, so a late-night or early-morning arrival is handled like any other, and your driver waits in arrivals for your flight.

Do I need to fill in a form before flying to Cali?

Yes. Foreign visitors complete the Check-MIG form from Migración Colombia online before the flight. Depending on your passport, you may also need a visa.

Should I buy transportation from drivers inside the terminal?

It's better not to. Use the official taxi stand or a pre-booked car; booking ahead means your driver, vehicle and price are confirmed before you land.

What happens if my flight to Cali is delayed or cancelled?

We monitor the flight on your reservation, so a delay moves your pickup with it. If your flight number, date or airline changes, tell customer service so the booking can be updated.

Can I book a ride back to Cali Airport?

Yes. Book the return as a one-way departure or as part of a round trip. Your pickup time allows for the drive to Palmira plus check-in and security: about 2 hours before a domestic flight and 3 hours before an international one.

Is Airport Transportation the same as Alfonso Bonilla Aragón International Airport?

No. Airport Transportation is a private transfer service that takes travelers to and from the airport; we are not the airport or its operator. For terminal, airline and arrival information, see our Alfonso Bonilla Aragón International Airport page.
